In March 2019, Pitta debuted and scored in the same game for Deportivo Santaní against Olimpia Asunción. He entered the pitch at the 13th minute of the first half, then scored his goal in the second half of a game which ended in a 2–2 draw.[3]

Amongst other clubs in Paraguay, Argentina and Chile, Universidad de Chile were interested in Pitta during 2019.[5]

In December 2019, Paraguayan Periodic HOY announced that Pitta would join Sportivo Luqueño for the 2020 season and had departed Deportivo Santani, who descended to the country's second-tier.[6]
